Book 7 in the Cooper-Fry series.
It was an ordinary house fire with tragic consequences: a wife and two children dead. But then for DS Diane Fry and DC Ben Cooper the ordinary always means trouble.
Trouble like a bereaved family living in fear. Trouble like the shocking assassination of an elderly woman living alone in a quiet Peak District village. What could be the motive for inflicting such violence on harmless victims?
To find the answer, Fry and Cooper must direct their search far beyond Derbyshire to the other side of Europe, in a land where the customs are even more unfathomable than the language. With a little help from Europol, they discover some of the reasons why people can be scared to live - and the connection at the heart of the enquiry that proves to be the most surprising revelation of all.

This is such an good series, both for the development of the relationship between Ben Cooper and Diane Fry, and the wonderful descriptions of the scenery in the Peak District National Park- and here of Matlock Bath and the old Arkwright's mill. And of course it's a jolly good murder mystery story too!

Offered in an online "Verb in the Title" swap, and won by sunflowergirl. I hope you enjoy it.
The book has arrived here safely, thanks Herrgirl for sending it so quickly. I was really pleased to win this in the Verb swap as I'm enjoying reading murder mystery/thriller books now as they're a good escape. It's always nice to find a new series to work through too. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this book, I'll journal it again once I've read it.
PS. Thanks for the postcard.

I'm no longer bookcrossing but I'm making an effort to read, journal and release all the books that have come my way via bookcrossers as soon as I can.
I very nearly passed this on without reading it but I'm so glad I didn't pass on it. I really enjoyed reading it. I loved how it went a completely different way than I initially expected and I didn't see the ending coming until it happened. I now want to read all the previous books in this series to see how the characters got to be the way they are. I'm definitely a fan of this writer now!
I'll be releasing this book soon.
